Plant Care – Asparagus aethiopicus ’Asparagus Fern’

Light: Place your Asparagus aethiopicus under bright and filtered sunlight, and do avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch its leaves and dry up. Place your plant near a window and make sure it receives filtered sunlight.

Water: Allow the top surface of the soil to dry up between watering the plant. We recommend watering it once a week or whenever necessary. Overwatering your plant can cause water beds, and this will result in root problems. Above all, pair your plant with a well-draining potting mix to avoid soggy soil and root rot.

Soil: The Asparagus aethiopicus thrives in a well-draining potting mix.

Fertiliser: Feed your plant with a water-soluble fertiliser at half strength once a month.

Humidity Requirement: Medium
